2016-06-23color: support strike-through attributeLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
This is the only remaining attribute that is commonly supported (at least by xterm) that we don't support. Let's add it for completeness. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-23color: support "italic" attributeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
We already support bold, underline, and similar attributes. Let's add italic to the mix. According to the Wikipedia page on ANSI colors, this attribute is "not widely supported", but it does seem to work on my xterm. We don't have to bump the maximum color size because we were already over-allocating it (but we do adjust the comment appropriately).

2016-06-23color: allow "no-" for negating attributesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
Using "no-bold" rather than "nobold" is easier to read and more natural to type (to me, anyway, even though I was the person who introduced "nobold" in the first place). It's easy to allow both. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-23color: refactor parse_attrLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+21
The list of attributes we recognize is a bit unwieldy, as we actually have two arrays that must be kept in sync. Instead, let's have a single array-of-struct to represent our mapping. That means we can never have an accident that causes us to read off the end of an array, and it makes diffs for adding new attributes much easier to read. This also makes it easy to handle the "no" cases without having to repeat each attribute (this shortens the list, making it easier to read, but also also cuts the size of our linear search in half). Technically this makes it impossible for us to add an attribute that starts with "no" (we could confuse "nobody" for the negation of "body"), but since this is a constrained set of attributes, that's OK. Since we can also store the length of each name in the struct, that makes it easy for us to avoid reading past the "len" parameter given to us (though in practice it was not a bug, since all of our current callers are interested in a subset of a NUL-terminated buffer, not a true undelimited range of memory).

2015-10-05color: add color_set helper for copying raw colorsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
To set up default colors, we sometimes strcpy() from the default string literals into our color buffers. This isn't a bug (assuming the destination is COLOR_MAXLEN bytes), but makes it harder to audit the code for problematic strcpy calls. Let's introduce a color_set which copies under the assumption that there are COLOR_MAXLEN bytes in the destination (of course you can call it on a smaller buffer, so this isn't providing a huge amount of safety, but it's more convenient than calling xsnprintf yourself).

2015-10-05color: add overflow checks for parsing colorsLibravatar Jeff King1-15/+26
Our color parsing is designed to never exceed COLOR_MAXLEN bytes. But the relationship between that hand-computed number and the parsing code is not at all obvious, and we merely hope that it has been computed correctly for all cases. Let's mark the expected "end" pointer for the destination buffer and make sure that we do not exceed it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-12-09parse_color: drop COLOR_BACKGROUND macroLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+4
Commit 695d95d (parse_color: refactor color storage, 2014-11-20) introduced two macros, COLOR_FOREGROUND and COLOR_BACKGROUND. The latter conflicts with a system macro defined on Windows, breaking compilation there. The simplest solution is to just get rid of these macros entirely. They are constants that are only used in one place (since the whole point of 695d95d was to avoid repeating ourselves). Their main function is to make the magic character constants more readable, but we can do the same thing with a comment.

2014-11-20parse_color: recognize "no$foo" to clear the $foo attributeLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+5
You can turn on ANSI text attributes like "reverse" by putting "reverse" in your color spec. However, you cannot ask to turn reverse off. For common cases, this does not matter. You would turn on "reverse" at the start of a colored section, and then clear all attributes with a "reset". However, you may wish to turn on some attributes, then selectively disable others. For example: git log --format="%C(bold ul yellow)%h%C(noul) %s" underlines just the hash, but without the need to re-specify the rest of the attributes. This can also help third-party programs, like contrib/diff-highlight, that want to turn some attribute on/off without disrupting existing coloring. Note that some attribute specifications are probably nonsensical (e.g., "bold nobold"). We do not bother to flag such constructs, and instead let the terminal sort it out.

2014-11-20parse_color: support 24-bit RGB valuesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+28
Some terminals (like XTerm) allow full 24-bit RGB color specifications using an extension to the regular ANSI color scheme. Let's allow users to specify hex RGB colors, enabling the all-important feature of hot pink ref decorations: git log --format="%h%C(#ff69b4)%d%C(reset) %s" Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-11-20parse_color: refactor color storageLibravatar Jeff King1-32/+106
When we parse a color name like "red" into its ANSI color value, we pack the storage into a single int that may take on many values: 1. If it's "-2", no value has been specified. 2. If it's "-1", the value is "normal" (i.e., no color). 3. If it's 0 through 7, the value is a standard ANSI color. 4. If it's larger (up to 255), it is a 256-color extended value. Given these magic numbers, it is often hard to see what is going on in the code. Let's refactor this into a struct with a flag that tells which scheme we are using, along with a numeric value. This is more verbose, but should hopefully be simpler to follow. It will also allow us to easily add support for more schemes, like 24-bit RGB values. The result is also slightly less efficient to store, but that's OK; we only store this intermediate state during the parse, after which we write out the actual ANSI bytes.

2014-10-14color_parse: do not mention variable name in error messageLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+6
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so that the die() message could be something like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain' These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting error messages are a little confusing: $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format' $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line' This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the value, and then return an error code. Config callers can then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom message. After this patch these three cases now look like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse --pretty format $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse default color value Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-10make color.ui default to 'auto'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log"). Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step, which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value, hence should not be the default. These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors. A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git" already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in beginner-oriented documentations. A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not harmed by it. The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

2011-08-19want_color: automatically fallback to color.uiLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+5
All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value is handled in one of two ways: 1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the value of color.ui (which defaults to 0). 2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color defaults it to off. This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that, simplifying the calling code.

2011-08-19diff: don't load color config in plumbingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+9
The diff config callback is split into two functions: one which loads "ui" config, and one which loads "basic" config. The former chains to the latter, as the diff UI config is a superset of the plumbing config. The color.diff variable is only loaded in the UI config. However, the basic config actually chains to git_color_default_config, which loads color.ui. This doesn't actually cause any bugs, because the plumbing diff code does not actually look at the value of color.ui. However, it is somewhat nonsensical, and it makes it difficult to refactor the color code. It probably came about because there is no git_color_config to load only color config, but rather just git_color_default_config, which loads color config and chains to git_default_config. This patch splits out the color-specific portion of git_color_default_config so that the diff UI config can call it directly. This is perhaps better explained by the chaining of callbacks. Before we had: git_diff_ui_config -> git_diff_basic_config -> git_color_default_config -> git_default_config Now we have: git_diff_ui_config -> git_color_config -> git_diff_basic_config -> git_default_config Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-19color: delay auto-color decision until point of useLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+18
When we read a color value either from a config file or from the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no boolean value. This has some timing implications with respect to starting a pager. If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1) will give us the right information, or we will properly check for pager_in_use(). However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty, then we will have already decided to use color. However, the user may also have configured color.pager not to use color with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color variables were turned on (and there are many of them throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on the command line). This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after config and command line options are checked. This has affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24). This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and actually checking the configuration. The "use_color" variables now have an additional possible value, GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new "want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and cache the auto-color decision.

2011-08-18git_config_colorbool: refactor stdout_is_tty handlingLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+6
Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow git-config to override the auto-detection for its --get-colorbool option. Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

Introduce status_printf{,_ln,_more} wrapper functions around color_vfprintf() which take care of adding "#" to the beginning of status lines automatically. The semantics: - status_printf() is just like color_fprintf() but it adds a "# " at the beginning of each line of output; - status_printf_ln() is a convenience function that additionally adds "\n" at the end; - status_printf_more() is a variant of status_printf() used to continue lines that have already started.

2010-12-10default color.status.branch to "same as header"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
This gives it the same behavior as we had prior to 1d28232 (status: show branchname with a configurable color). To do this we need the concept of a "NIL" color, which is provided by color.[ch]. The implementation is very simple; in particular, there are no precautions taken against code accidentally printing the NIL. This should be fine in practice because: 1. You can't input a NIL color in the config, so it must come from the in-code defaults. Which means it is up the client code to handle the NILs it defines. 2. If we do ever print a NIL, it will be obvious what the problem is, and the bug can be fixed. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-04-14diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-wordsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-28/+0
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that supports two new modes: * --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to 'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+} * --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable format: - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as in unified diff - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a tilde '~' Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for --word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some compatibility/convenience options. Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

2010-02-18Add an optional argument for --color optionsLibravatar Mark Lodato1-0/+3
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given, "always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls' and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before. To implement this, two internal changes were made: 1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL, in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never", or "auto". 2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb() to the option parsing library. The callback uses git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency of parse-options.c.

2009-01-19Optimize color_parse_memLibravatar René Scharfe1-17/+21
Commit 5ef8d77a implemented color_parse_mem, a function for parsing colors from a non-NUL-terminated string, by simply allocating a new NUL-terminated string and calling color_parse. This had a small but measurable speed impact on a user format that used the advanced color parsing. E.g., # uses quick parsing $ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%Credfoo%Creset' >/dev/null real 0m0.673s user 0m0.652s sys 0m0.016s # uses color_parse_mem $ time ./git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(red)foo%C(reset)' >/dev/null real 0m0.692s user 0m0.660s sys 0m0.032s This patch implements color_parse_mem as the primary function, with color_parse as a wrapper for strings.

2009-01-17color: make it easier for non-config to parse color specsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+8
We have very featureful color-parsing routines which are used for color.diff.* and other options. Let's make it easier to use those routines from other parts of the code. This patch adds a color_parse_mem() helper function which takes a length-bounded string instead of a NUL-terminated one. While the helper is only a few lines long, it is nice to abstract this out so that: - callers don't forget to free() the temporary buffer - right now, it is implemented in terms of color_parse(). But it would be more efficient to reverse this and implement color_parse in terms of color_parse_mem. This also changes the error string for an invalid color not to mention the word "config", since it is not always appropriate (and when it is, the context is obvious since the offending config variable is given). Finally, while we are in the area, we clean up the parameter names in the declaration of color_parse; the var and value parameters were reversed from the actual implementation.

2007-12-11Support GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variableLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a tty, we must check whether it is because we started the pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use variable. This variable was set only when the git program being run started the pager; there was no way for an external program running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
